This past weekend, my body and my baby decided that the unofficial end of summer should also mark the end of my pregnancy. So, appropriately enough, I went into labor on Labor Day. On September 2, Signe Rose arrived.

I won’t go into the whole birth story; it’s pretty graphic. Suffice it to say there were over four hours of pushing and a vacuum extractor involved. The end result though was a healthy and beautiful little girl named Signe Rose. And despite some co-workers’ insistence that she’d be enormous, Signe weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces, measured 19 inches long, and is practically perfect in every way.

We’re in deep smit, but we’re also exhausted. I’ll post more details later.
